Fallon inquired about the potential for a Modern Family reboot, to which Vergara promptly shut down any speculation, stating, “No, it's only been four years.” When asked about the ideal time for a reboot, she humorously added, “I don't know, but it doesn't seem right. I feel like they need, we need a little more time.” Vergara jokingly acknowledged the time factor, saying, “We don't have much time because Ed [O'Neil] is old, so…”
Fallon suggested a holiday special as a compromise, and Vergara agreed that it would be a fitting way for the show to make a return. Reflecting on the emotional reunion with her co-stars in November, she explained, “We finished Modern Family in 2020, and you know, it was so emotional. We were all like ‘We have to be together a lot, we cannot just separate.' And then, two weeks later, the pandemic hit. And so we didn't see each other for almost four years until I did this house in November.”
While a Modern Family reboot remains off the table for now, Vergara is embarking on a new project. She is set to star in the upcoming Netflix series Griselda, where she portrays a violent drug lord. The series is scheduled to debut on January 25, 2024.
